Face-Based Contact Selection for Group Chat Creation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in quickly creating group chats when they cannot identify contact names, leading to slower communication processes.
Innovation Solution
A method and terminal device that allow users to input face images, display communication program icons, and select target identifiers based on those images to quickly create conversations or add users to group chats.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If users search for contacts by name in the contact list, then they can find contacts using traditional methods, but the process becomes slow when users do not know the contact name
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces face images as an intermediary element between the user and the contact identification process. Instead of directly searching through text-based contact lists, users interact with visual face images that serve as a mediator to quickly identify and select contacts, thereby resolving the contradiction between finding time and ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical/text-based contact searching method with a visual recognition system. By substituting the text-searching mechanism with face image display and visual selection, the system achieves faster contact identification while maintaining ease of operation
2Productivity
If users manually search through contact lists to find multiple contacts, then they can create group chats, but the process becomes time-consuming and reduces productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent displays multiple face images in advance before the user needs to select contacts for group chat creation. This preliminary display of visual contact information allows users to quickly identify and select multiple contacts simultaneously, thereby improving group chat creation speed and reducing the time loss associated with manual contact searching
3Measurement precision
If the system displays only text-based contact information, then it maintains simple interface design, but users cannot quickly identify contacts without knowing their names
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by enhancing specific parts of the contact information display. Instead of changing the entire interface structure, it adds face images to specific contact entries, providing visual identification precision where needed while maintaining the overall simplicity of the text-based contact list interface

AI summary
This disclosure provides a conversation creating method, including: receiving, by the terminal device, a first input which is performed on a first image that includes at least one face image (201) by a user; displaying, in response to the first input, an icon of at least one communication program (202); receiving, by the terminal device, a second input which is performed by the user (203); and displaying, in response to the second input, a conversation interface that includes M target identifiers (204), where each of the target identifiers is used to indicate one user, M users indicated by the M target identifiers include users indicated by K face images in the at least one face image, and the M target identifiers are identifiers in a target communication program corresponding to the second input, where M and K are both positive integers, and K is less than or equal to M.
